Qookin wants to turn references into editable creative projects
Qookin says it can rebuild a photo, clip, finished edit, or web page as an editable project in creative applications such as Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects, Blender, and Premiere Pro.
- For
- Designers and editors rebuilding references as editable projects
- Worth noticing
- The page reports a Photoshop test with all 31 structural checks passing, and a Premiere Pro test with 19 of 19.
Field notes
The described process breaks references into app-native elements: live text and smart objects in Photoshop, Bezier outlines in Illustrator, and keyframes or geometry in other applications. Qookin says it renders the result, reads the project back, and compares it with the reference; the page also says its models run on a workstation the user owns. REAPER, Figma, Affinity, and Final Cut Pro are listed as in development, not currently available.
